Bedbugs Can Carry Hep-b & Hiv Virus

In doing the research for our latest eBook, BedBug Gazette's Complete Guide To BedBugs, multiple published specific medical research reports were discovered. These reports stated that it was possible for BedBugs to carry numerous deadly diseases and it was possible for those diseases to be "mechanically transmitted" to humans.

This will be controversial as the US CDC and the EPA as well as numerous Universities and the medical community cite these reports in their materials yet choose for some reason not to tell the public. They choose to ignore the research. They choose instead to state and promote that "bedbugs do not carry disease".

The staff, management and owners of BedBug Gazette are not, nor claim to be, medical authorities but they can and do read. Having read we believe there should be a public outcry as to why this research is being ignored and not explained.

It is a terrible mistake to not disclose this information to the public at large and 1st responders in particular. At this point in time it is impossible to determine if this transmission has occurred. It may not of happened but even one transmission of thesedeadly diseases from BedBugs due to misinformation would be unacceptable.

This is a mistake we hope to help rectify by releasing, at no charge, part of the chapter of our eBook "BedBug Gazette Complete Guide To BedBugs" that includes the partial abstracts from the medical research we discovered.

Both 1st Responders and Health Care Workers specifically need to be aware of this issue. While most hospital personnel are vaccinated for the HEP-B virus all 1st Responders, law enforcement, fire fighters, EMT, home health care workers and social workers need to have the same protection for themselves and their families.

Hepatitis B (the HBV virus) can take thirty to one-hundred and eighty days after being infected for the victim to start showing symptoms. Once contracted an individual can pass on the virus to others through contact with another person's body fluids or blood even before becoming symptomatic. This can include infants born to infected mothers.

While the entire world has been made aware of the insidious HIV virus and its terrible consequences most people do not know that the HBV virus is 50 to 100 times more infectious than HIV. In some cases how the HBV virus was transmitted is never known.

Almost 50% of those that have contracted the HBV virus do not have any symptoms. The individuals that do develop symptoms may have entered the acute phase of the illness and it can take up to a year for recovery. There are also possible long term affects such as cirrhosis and liver cancer developed from a chronic liver infection that can be caused by HBV.

Because it takes so long to show up it is very difficult to determine how the HBV was first introduced. Additionally the initial symptoms are very similar to flu symptoms:

Loss of Appetite
Feeling tired or fatigued all the time
Nausea and vomiting
Irritability
Headache
Confusion
Dehydration
Difficulty concentrating
Itching
Pains just under the rib cage on the right side over the liver
Jaundiced skin & eyes
Dark Urine
Pale gray stools

The HBV can be detected through simple blood tests. If detected then there is a battery of testing that can be done to tell how severe the infection has become and therefore dictate a treatment regimen.

Have any of the people contracting HBV done so as a result of transmission from an infected BedBug? There is no way to tell.

Very shortly BedBug Gazette will also release at, no charge, another chapter from its eBook dealing with the information to protect 1st Responders. It is, in our opinion, vital that all these courageous individuals and their families have this information.
